[QUOTE="Richards, post: 3468308, member: 508"] I'm deeply saddened by the impending demise of [i]Dragon[/i] and [i]Dungeon[/i] as print products. While I can understand how many will enjoy their new electronic incarnations, I will always prefer a print product over an electronic product, for the same reasons that many have already stated: the ability to read the content anywhere, without being dependent upon computers, servers, and various twitchy bits of technology; the more professional look a magazine has over a stack of printed-out electronic articles (not to mention the added expense of having to do so); and so on. Also, the print magazines have been a big part of my life for many, many years now - a friend's issue of [i]Dragon[/i] brought me back into gaming after a 5-year hiatus - and I mourn their loss as I would two close friends. (In fact, I wore black to work today.) Telling me that [i]Dragon[/i] and [i]Dungeon[/i] will simply be changing over to an electronic format is kind of like killing two of my friends and replacing them with Stepford Wives (or Westworld androids) and telling me that there's no real appreciable difference. I don't think I'll be following Wizards into their new electronic realm. I may give [i]Pathfinder[/i] a try, but its Adventure Path focus is less appealing to me than my current dose of my two favorite magazines. I'll probably end up paying full price for the first issue to see if I'll like it, rather than jump into a subscription I may not enjoy. The [i]GameMastery[/i] modules seem like they might be more to my liking, as I prefer shorter adventures that I can link together on my own. And, on a personal (and admittedly self-pitying) note, I guess I won't waste my time writing "Challenge of Champions VII" now. :( Johnathan [/QUOTE]
